hum prob burnt 2nd gear band😞

yo look on e tag

I think there testing on how to exceed EPA gas quest/mandates. Them heavy SUV's need all the help they can get.

ask scotty

@@FixingWithPassion He didn't know either... Thanks for nothing

Bert Cochran well he's done 4 so....

I've Had pretty good luck with brass sleeves. I think success or effectiveness is quite good.

Font band you can replace it without removing the servo pin/piston on the side of the case. Just got to watch that anchor pin it might fall out when you loosen the band adjustment screw on the side of the case. 2nd band in center of the case....no way....have to get into there pretty deep to get to that band;{ Good luck!

It's not a C clamp It's a snap ring!

I think I paid $280.00 Mine has been setting for a year now.

@@FixingWithPassion what's the name of the kit pls?

Interesting.

Well, brass is certainly softer than steel but it has self lubricating properties. It could actually be a type of bronze alloy too (I don't know, I have never used the kit). I recall having a semi long conversation with an old timer about this and questioning why bronze gears would be used instead of steel. The old timer told me that bronze offered a cusioning effect (I.E. reduction in sheering forces). It also has a self lubricating effect like brass. Put simply the Rockwell hardness of steel is higher but more brittle. An example of this is the gear drives on rear tine tillers. A steel gear would likely last a lot longer but because it has no cushion if you hit a rock and have a abrupt stop you run the risk of breaking a shaft. The bronze gear will fail saving the drive shaft or possibly crank shaft. The gear easier to replace than the other components. Considering the application here and the forces involved I doubt that the brass insert lifespan would be much shorter than steel and has the added bonus of being less likely to bind up than a steel insert. The folks who built this kit seem to know what they are doing and steel would likely be cheaper than brass so I imagine they have a good reason for using it. Just my two cents.

Brass is a harder than aluminum and has self lubricating properties so it will wear better. If the aluminum housing lasted 75-100K miles before it wore out, the brass sleeve will last 150-200K miles or more. The better question is, why didn’t Ford spend an extra 50 cents per transmission and use brass bushings when they built them?

Gear ratios

?

yes you have to pull the transmission and disassemble it as well to drill out the bores. Try the servo repair kit at AJ1E Superior Solutions. You wont need to pull the trans, you can do the repair in vehicle and they have an instructional video.

O my!

O my!

Slamming into 2nd gear....lazy shift to 2nd a lot.

TVWXMAN32 mine shift to 2nd gear but I have to rev up the engine up to 5k to shift to 3rd ,happen a lot in the city but drive fine on the highway

I tried one of those "servo repair seals kit" without taking the tranny apart. It did not last. It trashed the seals because the bore was so mad it put cuts in the seals.

TVWXMAN32 yeah you only can use those if you don't have that problem

O yea, please tell us more...
